Web
Hosting Service
A web hosting service is a kind of Internet
hosting service that permits individuals and organizations
to give their own website accessible via the World Wide Web.
Web hosts are companies that give space on a server they own
for use by their customers as well as giving Internet connectivity,
typically in a data center. Web hosts can also give data center
space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do
not own to be located in their data center, called collocation.
Service scope
The scopes of hosting services vary widely.
The most basic is webpage and small-scale file hosting, where
files can be uploaded via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or
a Web interface. The files are generally delivered to the
Web "as is" or with little processing. Many Internet
service providers (ISPs) offer this service free to their
subscribers. People can also obtain Web page hosting from
other, alternative service providers. Personal online site
hosting is typically free, advertisement-sponsored, or cheap.
Business online site hosting often has a higher expense
.
Single page hosting is usually sufficient
only for personal web pages. A complex site calls for a more
comprehensive package that gives database support and application
development platforms (e.g. PHP, Java, Ruby on Rails, and
ASP.NET). These facilities allow the customers to write or
install scripts for applications like forums and content management.
For e-commerce, SSL is also needed.
The host may also gives an interface or
control panel for managing the Web server and installing scripts
as well as other services like e-mail. Some hosts specialize
in certain software or services (e.g. e-commerce). They are
commonly used by larger companies to outsource network infrastructure
to a hosting company. To find a web hosting company, there
are searchable directories that can be used. One must be extremely
careful when searching for a new company because many of the
people promoting service providers are actually affiliates
and the reviews are biased.
Hosting reliability and uptime
Hosting uptime refers to the percentage
of time the host is accessible via the internet. Many providers
state that they aim for a 99.9% uptime, but there may be server
restarts and planned (or unplanned) maintenance in any hosting
environment.
A common claim from the famous hosting
providers is '99% or 99.9% server uptime' but this often refers
only to a server being powered on and doesn't account for
network downtime. Real downtime can potentially be larger
than the percentage guaranteed by the provider. Many providers
tie uptime, and accessibility, into their own service level
agreement (SLA). SLAs may or may not include refunds or decreased
costs if performance goals are not met.
Types of hosting
Internet hosting services
can run Web servers; see Internet hosting services.
Hosting services limited to the Web:
| |
|
Free web
hosting service:
is free, (sometimes) advertisement-supported web hosting,
and is often limited when compared
to pay hosting. |
| |
|
Shared web
hosting service one's
Web site is placed on the same server as several other
sites, ranging from a few to hundreds
or thousands. Typically, all domains may share a common
pool of server resources, such as
RAM and the CPU. A shared online site may be hosted
with a reseller. |
| |
|
Reseller
web hosting: permits
customers to become web hosts themselves. Resellers
could function, for individual domains, under any combination
of these listed types of hosting, depending on who they
are affiliated with as a provider. Resellers' accounts
may vary tremendously in size: they may have their own
virtual devoted server to a collocated server. |
| |
|
Virtual
Devoted Server: dividing
a server into virtual servers, where each user feels
like they're on their own devoted server, but they're
actually sharing a server with several other users.
The users may have root access to their own virtual
space. This is also known as a virtual private server
or VPS. |
| |
|
Devoted
hosting service: the
user gets his or her own Web server and gains full control
over it (root access for Linux/administrator access
for Windows); however, the user typically does not own
the server. Another kind of devoted hosting is Self-Managed
or Unmanaged. This is generally the least expensive
for devoted plans. The user has full administrative
access to the box, which means the customer is responsible
for the security and maintenance of his own devoted
box. |
| |
|
Managed hosting
service: the user
gets his or her own Web server but is not allowed full
control over it (root access for Linux/administrator
access for Windows); however, they are permitted to
manage their data via FTP or other remote management
tools. The user is disallowed full control so that the
provider can guarantee quality of service by not allowing
the user to change the server or potentially create
configuration problems. The user typically does not
own the server. The server is leased to the customer.
|
| |
|
Collocation
web hosting service: similar
to the devoted web hosting service, but the user owns
the collocation server; the hosting company gives physical
space that the server takes up and takes care of the
server. This is the most powerful and expensive kind
of the web hosting service. In most cases, the collocation
provider may give little to no support directly for
their customer's machine, giving only the electrical,
Internet access, and storage facilities for the server.
In most cases for collocation, the client would have
his own administrator visit the data center on site
to do any hardware upgrades or changes. |
| |
|
Clustered
hosting: having multiple
servers hosting the same matter for better resource
utilization. Clustered Servers are a perfect solution
for high-availability devoted hosting, or making a scalable
web hosting solution. |
| |
|
Grid hosting
: this form of distributed
hosting is when a server cluster acts like a grid and
is composed of multiple nodes. |
| |
|
Home server:
generally a single machine placed
in a private residence can be used to host one or more
online sites from a generally consumer-grade broadband
connection. These can be purpose-built machines or more
commonly old PC's. |
Some ISP's actively attempt to block these servers by disallowing
incoming requests to TCP port 80 of the user's connection
and by refusing to provide static IP addresses. A common way
to attain a static IP is by making an account with a dynamic
DNS service. A dynamic DNS service will automatically change
the IP address that a URL points to when it changes.
Some particular kinds of hosting provided by web host service
providers:
File hosting service: hosts not
web pages but files
Image hosting service
Video hosting service
Blog hosting service
One-click hosting
Shopping cart software

Successful
E-commerce
Adding E-commerce includes so much more than
a range of templates and colors that attempt to match the
look and feel of your present online site. A few text rollover
effects, animated graphics, short descriptions, thumbnails
and photos of the goods really only give you with an online
catalogue.
Such issues as user interfaces, marketing, branding, merchandising,
navigation systems; online site architecture and data flow
is of prime consideration in establishing a successful Internet
presence. It also includes intangible elements, such as how
the human brain breaks up information, eye hand co-ordination
and just plain old human nature.
Successful online sites make clear to the shopper which categories
of goods are available, and give easy site-navigation links.
From anywhere in these sites, the shopper can easily proceed
to browse more goods without having to waste time searching.
It would seem fairly obvious that a good navigation system
is needed for a successful e-commerce site, but as you may
have noticed, many sites on the Internet are sorely lacking
in this regard.
Many companies are also spending significant amounts of money
to launch E-businesses on the Internet. But how many of these
companies are taking the right approach when it comes to building
a memorable, positive brand image that online consumers will
be involved to in the long term?
A key issue is that branding in the online world is far more
than just transferring your print brand identity to the Web.
Yes, it includes a graphic design image, but your brand in
the world of e-business is more largely affected by the interactive
experience you give your users. The Web is a medium that permits
you to quickly build one-to-one relationships with your customers.
What is even more important is the quality of those relationships.
Your Web site's ability to engage your customers and facilitate
an ongoing relationship with them is the real key to successful
branding on the Internet.
Selling off-line is very much built on personal relationships
developed over time. Many sales manuals describe the average
five to eight customer contacts necessary to complete a sale.
These can involve telephone, e-mail and even salespeople visiting
a customer's place of business, etc.
With the Internet your online site has to sum up your entire
approach. When visitors arrive at your online site your online
store must entice these potential shoppers to make a purchase.
Yet, with one click your potential shopper can be gone, never
to return.
|
Why? The list is long but not insurmountable. A well thought
E-commerce online site designed by knowledgeable business
experts need not be too expensive for most small and medium
sized companies. The emphasis being on well thought out and
business experts. The majority of Wizard based, templates
driven do-it-yourself style e-commerce systems, for a multitude
of reasons are simply not effective with today's sophisticated
on-line shoppers. Some may enable you to make sales but certainly
do not allow you to operate at full potential.
Certain issues in establishing an E-commerce presence do not
even concern the look and feel of the site. Admittedly graphics
do not have to be overly large in file size or too flashy.
A quick loading site is a must as the vast majority of consumers
connect to the Internet from their homes with relatively slow
modems. A slow loading online store crammed with overly long
matter or graphics typically ends your relationship before
it has begun.
Also when purchasing online, shoppers are often needed to
give an entire host of personal information, including a mailing
address, phone number, e-mail addresses and billing information.
In general, requiring these disclosures can discourage certain
shoppers from purchasing directly online. The addition of
a toll free line in itself can make an important difference.
As well, in order to alleviate shoppers' privacy concerns
an E-commerce site must give guarantees that shoppers' personal
information will not be sold to other companies for mailing
lists and other solicitation purposes. Maintaining consumer
confidence is necessary for your online store.
A major concern of online shoppers is that of poor customer
support. They question the merchant's response to issues that
may arise after the purchase has been made. The concern is
whether the online merchant has the expertise or personnel
needed in resolving technical problem relating to the setup
or use of the goods. Posting a page outlining your technical
support policies and a F.A.Q section is a step towards addressing
these legitimate shopper concerns.
Another factor affecting consumer confidence is a concern
that they will be dissatisfied with the goods purchased without
the advantage of examining the goods physically before purchase.
It may be necessary to implement and post an unconditional
exchange or refund policy to boost consumer confidence.
These are but a few of the many issues involved in establishing
and operating a successful E-commerce online site before the
graphical and navigation issues are even addressed. Yet they
are identical issues faced in operating an offline or 'Bricks
& Mortar' business, yet with slightly different methods
of resolution.
Realizing that your E-commerce online site must be seamlessly
integrated into your business, reflecting your company image,
reinforcing your brand and giving a smooth and intuitive flow
of data, will you select Wizardry or Knowledge in its construction?
Your online site can be your new office in every country of
the world, your international customer service center or your
world storefront but it needs to look, feel and be run in
exactly the same way as the rest of your business. How will
you select?
